I assumed there was a massive refrigerator/freezer in the basement that only had to be restocked monthly, or something like that.

Good thing he wasn't a meteorologist. It's the middle of August; clear, and sunny without a chance of rain at all.

It must have been only a few days or so after the detonation, since the dog died from radiation poisoning just then.
